Numerical Simulation, Laboratory and Field Experiments, Analysis and Design of Wave Energy Converter and Mooring System

Creator:: Lou, Junhui
Abstract:: This dissertation studies the coupled fluid-structure interaction (FSI) of a wave energy converter (WEC) and evaluates the design of a WEC mooring system. The research is conducted in support of conceptual development, field test and performance evaluation of WECs as part of the mission of the Northwest National Marine Renewable...

Quantitative basin morphology and channel stability with reference to nonpoint sources of pollution in Evans Creek, Oregon

Creator:: Krupin, Paul J.
Abstract:: A Stream Reach Inventory and Channel Stability Evaluation procedure has been used to assess the nature and extent of erosional nonpoint sources of pollution in the Evans Creek basin, a tributary to the Rogue River, in southwestern Oregon. The study is based upon the results of the Oregon Department of...

Large–Scale Laboratory Experiment and Numerical Simulation of Tsunami Forces on a Bridge Deck

Creator:: Xiang, Tao
Abstract:: The fluid impact forces on a bridge superstructure in horizontal and vertical directions due to tsunamis represented by solitary waves are investigated through a large-scale laboratory experiment and numerical simulations. The experiment is conducted in a two-dimensional wave basin using a 1:5 scaled reinforced concrete bridge deck model tested under...

Hydrodynamic contact/impact modeling and application to ocean engineering problems

Creator:: Challa, Ravi
Abstract:: Fluid-structure interaction (FSI) is a very interesting and challenging multi-disciplinary field involving interaction of a movable or deformable structure with an internal or surrounding fluid flow. FSI has several practical engineering applications such as the determination of the hydrodynamic forces on a structure or the dynamics of motion of bodies...

Contact and impact dynamic modeling capabilities of LS-DYNA for fluid-structure interaction problems

Creator:: Challa, Ravi
Abstract:: Fluid-structure interaction (FSI) is a very interesting and challenging multi-disciplinary field involving interaction of a movable or deformable structure with an internal or surrounding fluid flow. FSI plays a pivotal role in many different types of real-world situations and practical engineering applications involving large structural deformation and material or geometric...

An economic analysis of small-holders agriculture in the central highlands of Ethiopia : a system simulation approach

Creator:: Bellete, Solomon
Abstract:: In the majority of the less developed countries the small-scale peasant agriculture is the dominant sector of the countries' economies. The successes of major agricultural programs in order to increase the potentials depend primarily on the understanding of the economic organizations of the peasant households. This study analyzed over a...

The integro-geometric tangent measures of euclidean n-space

Creator:: Zelver, Jack Solomon
Abstract:: A technique of differentiation with respect to the distance to the boundary of an outer parallel-body is applied to known measures of sets of p-dimensional linear spaces which intersect a general convex body in n-dimensional euclidean space in order to obtain an appropriate definition of the measures of sets of...

Hydroelastic modeling of a wave energy converter using the arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian finite element method in LS-DYNA

Creator:: Meicke, Stephen A.
Abstract:: This thesis investigates the applicability of the finite element method to model wave energy converter (WEC) hydroelasticity using LS-DYNA. The proposed methodology uses the Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian formulation to model Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) between the WEC and the fluid elements. This formulation allows for time-domain modeling of higher order effects such...

Modelling, validation and simulation of multi-degree-of-freedom nonlinear stochastic barge motions

Creator:: Bartel, Warren A.
Abstract:: Recent developments in estimation of the survivability of a U.S. Navy transport barge in random seas are extended to improve accuracy. The single Degree-of-Freedom (DOF) model of a extreme roll response of a barge used in previous research is replaced by a 3-DOF roll-heave-sway model to include linear and nonlinear...
